 Image link{Bonus Card Using the Image}  Note: I am aware of course that stun counters aren't normally put on exiled cards. I figure it's something which can be done though, as exiled cards can have counters put on them and there are other cases of counters being put on permanents that don't normally use them (like +1/+1 counters on non-creature non-vehicle artifacts). Naturally the stun counter isn't doing anything on those exiled cards, other than interactions with this card. Why not use a time counter? Less words used for one, and flavor for another. The guy freezes and defrosts. He's not a time wizard. |

Obviously since the original the ability has been done several times, but I'll never forget how much I adored Doran, the Siege Tower when I first saw it. Such a simple and clean, yet game-changing ability! I know the ability has been done on a planeswalker already, but let's bring it back to where it belongs, shall we?

Well, I was certainly not lacking options for this one. I did consider Kruphix or Jin-Gitaxias, but an idea struck me I really wanted to try. So, the flavor here: This is an alternate version of Mulgrotha (because elementals can't be planeswalkers) who came to be in a less destroyed Urborg. Still overflowing with black mana, but its ancient kingdoms had not so much been eradicated, but instead slowly decayed in utter shells of their former selves. In the more fuzzy rules of the pre-mending era with a more civilized Urborg, Mulgrotha's embodiment of the island ended up transformed into a being which still embodied her nature as an avatar of Yavimaya's offshoot, but in mortal form. Other than a colder relationship with the original Maro-Sorcerer and more struggles with her own identity, things play out much the same. However, after the mending she ends up igniting her own spark and travels the multiverse. At some point or another, she encounters Yarok on Zendikar. She senses a similar kind of being, an elemental made to embody a place of decay. A being meant to represent luscious life twisted by the environment being made decrepit. With this connect, Mulgrotha acts her elemental magic to bind Yarok to such a degree as to both become a part of each other, and thus able to planeswalk together.  |

It might be a little biased because I really like Riku, but the win goes to raphiezar. These were all really good though! Their abilities definitely translated well from creatures into walkers. |

Iji, Freed from Surface    Legendary Planeswalker--Ada  : Search your graveyard, hand, library, and exile for a card named Ada’s Reflection and put it onto the battlefield. If you searched your library this way, shuffle.  : You may sacrifice a creature named Ada’s Reflection. If you do, you may choose a card you own from outside the game named Ada of Mirrors and put it onto the battlefield.  : If you control a permanent named Iji, Freed from Surface, a permanent named Ada of Mirrors, and a permanent named Ada’s Reflection, for each permanent on the battlefield, you may create a token copy of that permanent, except that token’s not legendary. Iji, Freed from Surface can only ever be your commander.  Here's some backstory on Ada, et. al.

Idea: Commander ability namechecks a different name, was that intentional? Thanks for pointing it out! For some reason the automatic CARDNAME thing wasn't working so it was left with the original name while I was still working on the card. |

Tibalt, Phyrexian Conscript  Legendary Planeswalker — Tibalt ::mythic: :  Compleated, infect When ~ enters, exile the top card of your library. You may play it this turn. : ~ deals 1 damage to any target other than a player. : ~ deal 1 damage to target player.  : ~ deals 3 damage to each opponent and 6 damage to each battle, each creature, each planeswalker they control. 1) Tibalt was blackmail’d with Compleation in the story. Never got a card. 2) We never got a compleat’d ‘walker for all the one- and two-color’d combinations. Here’s monored. (  and 8 life for one impulsive draw and nothing else is balanced, right?) 3) I like seeing planeswalkers with set mechanics (which I think are sorely underrepresent’d (Suspend/Foretell/Plot ‘walker, when‽)). |

Shame there was no feedback, but thank you for the win raphiezar ! I've really been into the musical Epic lately and the Odyssey is fairly well known classic literature, so I'll go for that. The next challenge is to make a planeswalker that is based on either A) A character from the Odyssey or B) A character that is involved in some significant way in the personal story of a character in the Odyssey Note that in neither (A) or (B) you need to planeswalker that is that character. They can be, but they also just based on them in some way, provided of course that the basis ic clear to see. Bonus points if you also manage to work in some kind of reference to the musical Epic. |

God, this is my high school English class all over again. We watched this, and we each had to make a board game out of it. I never finished mine, Calvining out again, because I wanted to have a d20 for movement, a deck of penalty cards, and a deck of "Fate Smiles Upon You" cards. Since Circe was played by Bernadette Peters (woo woo!), and Calypso was played by Vanessa Williams (also woo woo!), the majority of the penalty cards would involve finding the merest excuse to go back to either Circe's Isle or Calypso's Island, because come on, it's Bernadette Peters & Vanessa Williams, ffs! Things like "You pissed off Poseidon by not thanking him for not blowing you off course. He blows you off course, back to Circe's Isle.", "You ran out of pork rations. Go back to Circe's Isle to get more." 1, "You stubbed your toe. Best get it checked out by Calypso, she knows how to prevent infections. Head back to her Island.", and "You realize the futility of all man's efforts in the grand scheme of the universe. Overcome by a crushing case of ennui, you realize that even if you were to return to Ithaca, your life would have no more meaning, your boat would rot, and you would've given up one last chance to bang Vanessa Williams. Sensing this fourth wall break, Zeus punishes you by sending you back to Circe's Isle. Joke's on him, you've already sent word to both of them, and that word is 'Threesome?' Go back to your choice of Circe's Isle or Calypso's Island." Can you tell my teenage hormones were raging at the time? 1If you know, you know. |

Legendary Planeswalker - Cirria Each creature card you own outside the game and face-down creature you control has morph. The morph cost is equal to its mana cost reduced by  . : Create a 0/1 blue Bird creature token named Birds of Paradise with flying and "  : Add one mana of any color." : Exile target creature. Its controller creates a 2/2 green Boar creature token.  : Exile any number of target creatures. For each creature exiled this way, search its controller's library for a creature card and put it onto the battlefield under their control. Then each player whose library was searched this way shuffles.
referencing Circe, just to make sure it's clear. the -2 is an effect that hasn't appeared in blue lately, but is still recent enough that it's fine in my book. not sure the passive works but hopefully it does

What a coincidence: I just finished reading a prose version of the Odyssey. Based on how Athene made people look very graceful every once in a while; disguised Odysseus; and helped kill the suitors. Erena, Tricks and Treats Planeswalker - Erena : Put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target creature. It gains first strike until end of turn.  : Manifest a card from your hand.  : You get an emblem with “Turning face-down creatures face up costs you less.” and “Whenever a creature attacks you, this emblem deals 3 damage to it.”  |

fluffydeathbringer{Spoiler}I can quite feel the flavor here, though the abilities feel a bit all over the place. The birds of Paradise thing is strong but hardly uncommon, except in that it simultaneously is giving you ramp and a blocker on a plus ability, which is very very strong especially on a low-cost planeswalker. Exiling to turn creatures to 2/2 pigs is another very strong ability usually reserved for planeswalkers around 6 mana, though most of those aren't giving a creature and may just give life or even nothing. So it's acceptable a lower mana cost could be used, but 3 still feels far too low just for that. The ultimate isn't necessarily game-ending as many are since you are still giving your opponents creatures from their own deck. It's powerful mass removal, but they are likely still getting something that works with their deck rather than a vanilla creature, so fair enough. Still, one must also not forget it can pretty much upgrade any random token into whatever creature lurks around in your deck, and you can get some pretty Timmy threats in green.
The biggest issue though is that passive. It's seemingly got nothing to do with the rest of the card in any way, especially the "outside the game" part.
A card like this should probably cost one more, or likely two more mana and it should either drop the static ability or incorporate better the face-down matters aspect. Flo00{Spoiler}I think the card largely plays out as a lower mana planeswalker until you get the emblem. It's a relatively weak + effect and the minusis giving you a free morph which isn't bad but not spectacular either. I think something like toning down the emblem slightly could easily make this a very cool and playable 3 mana walker. It's also rather dripping with flavor which I love. Winner {Spoiler}The win goes to Flo00 for what I think was a much better balanced card and more internally consistent card. I like the way both cards presented their flavor though, and they both seemed interesting.

Mano Akuda, Protectrix Legendary Planeswalker--Mano The number of loyalty counters on Mano Akuda, Protectrix is equal to your life total. If Mano Akuda, Protectrix would lose one or more loyalty counters, you lose that much life instead. : Target permanent gains vigilance and lifelink until the beginning of your next turn. Pay 6 life: Destroy target creature or planeswalker. ::L-30::: You get an emblem with "Spells and permanents you control have lifelink, lifelink, and lifelink", and "Multiple instances of lifelink on a spell or permanent you control are cumulative." ::SL*::

"When in doubt, do a common." 
/
Each opponent reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a nonland card. Plot two of those nonland cards, then each opponent puts the rest in the bottom of their library in a random order. (You may cast it on a later turn as a sorcery without paying its mana cost.)
